So I got a notice from Ticketmaster that my identity was accessed by an intruder and my name, contact info and /encrypted/ payment info was compromised. These notices are more and more common. Why aren’t companies accountable for damages when they fail to protect all the myriad data they collect on people without consent? I never asked them to store these things…
You have the option to sue or join a class action lawsuit - there is currently a class action lawsuit. If that interests you (and it should) be careful not to agree to anything with Ticketmaster.
The chances of you personally recovering much compensation unless you can show real personal damages and pursue Ticketmaster in an individual lawsuit.
Class action lawsuits never work because they plea deal into some shitty number that does no damage.
Class action lawsuits are very rarely lucrative for the harmed party but they often result in sizeable penalties for companies. They’re essentially just punitive.
Hey I got 30 bucks from Zoom
We take the protection of your personal information very seriously
Fuck, I loathe this corporate bullshit phrase. Obviously you didn’t take it serious enough, now did you? For some reason this phrase really grinds my gears. Fair enough that you had a data breach and so on, but don’t brush off the issue like this…
Your call is very important to us 😡
We take the protection of your personal information very seriously (now that we were caught out).
Your Ticketmaster questions have been sufficiently answered, I think.
What did you want to know about beaches in general?
Same question - why aren’t businesses responsible for maintaining enough security, with damages due for those whose information they misplace.
Was it a stupid question?
You asked about beaches, so are you interested in how they form geologically, which ones are good for surfing, or just looking for a sunbathing destination?
The person you replied to was joking based on your typo.
I had no idea I even did that. I read it several times and in my head it was britches the whole time
As the other commenter mentioned, it was a joke based on the typo in the title, haha
